Rainy Days? Why You Need These Rain Booties

Fashion•Outfits

Since it finally feels like (and looks like spring) – Minnesota is in for plenty of rainy days ahead. I have owned a few pairs of rain boots over the years, but have never owned a pair of rain booties. When I spotted these  Jeffry Campbell rain booties (for only $55!), I knew I had to have them. They look chic and sophisticated, and go with literally everything. If it wasn’t for dancing in the rain over the weekend, I bet you wouldn’t even know these were rain boots! My favorite finds are ones that are fashionable AND practical....

Pink Lace

Fashion•Outfits

This dress is one of those dresses that deserves a special event. Such as the bridal shower I attended for my best friend earlier this summer or for a spontaneous date-night with your boyfriend downtown. It might have been raining out, which it has been doing a lot, but that didn’t keep us from having a good time. Gotta love the skyways! I felt fall for the first time a couple nights ago, and I know that sounds weird – but every year there’s that time in August when you finally feel like you can breathe. It is such...

Checking In On My 2015 Goals

Career•Lifestyle•Travel•U.S.

Well we are already into month eight of 2015, which means I’m a little bit behind in checking in on my 2015 goals, but still important to do! That’s why I wanted to share today – perhaps a little selfish on my end to document my goals publicly so that I feel a bit more pressure to keep up with them. {Move Out of My Comfort Zone More Often} I tell you what – this one has been hard for me to keep track of. I think moving into a new role at a new company has been the biggest...

Ivory Lace & Red Pleated Skirt: Valentine’s Day Look

Fashion•Outfits

As Valentine’s Day approaches, I find myself looking in my closet for all things red and pink, of course. I love themes, and Valentine’s Day is actually one of my favorite holidays to choose outfits for! This dress (worn as a top) and skirt went together well to create a simple, yet romantic look that I’m certain I’ll wear out on Valentine’s Day this year if we are going out to dinner somewhere. This look is inspired by a holiday style worn by Rachel from Pink Peonies, and I thought it would be a beautiful combination for Valentine’s Day....

Valentine’s Day Dog Treats #TreatThePups

Holidays•Lifestyle

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #TreatThePups #CollectiveBias Valentine’s Day, no matter if the card companies made it up or not, is a day meant to cherish and spend time with your loved ones: friends, family significant others, and for me, my dog Emma. I’ve spoken about how much she means to me many times before (because after all a dog is a woman’s best friend) and so this Valentine’s Day I want to make sure to remind her just how much she means to me by giving...

Travel is Always a Good Idea

Outfits•Shopping

I couldn’t agree more with the statement on this Boat House Apparel pullover  … YES! Always! Travel has always been important to me. Thanks to my family, I started to appreciate travel and experiencing new places at a young age. Traveling changes you and I love to talk to the local people no matter where I go. I always think if they live there, they must know best about where to go, what to do and what to see. I decided to dress up this fun and gorgeous pullover from Boat House Apparel with a festive scarf and my...

Oversized Sweater + Turtleneck Layers & a Giveaway!

Fashion•Outfits

I cannot express to you how much I LOVE this watch. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it is one of Wristology’s Rachel watches, I mean, how is it I don’t own ALL of the Rachel watches yet? 🙂  I love the rose gold paired with aqua blue, it is chic and gives a nice touch of color while still being professional enough for me to wear to my office! Wristology has a vast selection of gorgeous watches for an affordable price – and if you don’t know what to get your mom, sister or best girlfriend for Christmas...

Oversized Tweed Jacket + Plaid Scarf

Fashion•Outfits

This oversized tweed jacket is warm, comfy and easy to throw on. I wore this outfit last weekend, when it was nice out, but still chilly enough for a scarf. My mom found this scarf for me at a thrift store and I was SO happy. It is beautiful, and with the colors and plaid pattern, goes with almost everything I wear. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY! Make sure to check out my post for the best deals going on RIGHT NOW!
